Sure, maybe you and I care enough about auto safety standards to buy a vehicle that isn't dangerous, but I don't trust other consumers to necessarily do the same thing. I don't want to be sharing the road with some corner-cutting jalopy that's likely to throw a tire through my windshield while we're passing each other on the highway, and I definitely don't want a market that permits such low-quality products to be operated in public spaces.","time":1597854447,"type":"comment"}
